[Sportsandrec] Gun shooting

[Alex Crawford]

The United States Association of Blind Athletes (USABA) has shooting as a Paralympic sport. They use audio and laser equipment. An athlete recently did a demonstration of the equipment for my agency, it was quite amazing. The link below is from USABA's website and gives more information about shooting. You should look into becoming a paralympian!

Subject: [Sportsandrec] Gun shooting

Hi my name is Garrett. I lost my site at age 15. I am now 19 years  old. Before I lost my side I had low vision, and my family and I enjoyed going to the shooting range.  Since I have lost my side I have not been back to the shooting range. Does anybody know of any techniques that the blind use to shoot guns to the point where they can be accurate as a sighted person? If this is not the correct mailing list, does anybody know of the mailing list that I can subscribe to that would give me the information I am looking for? from my iPhone _______________________________________________
